Driver's note on Port River Hotel & Spa: An all-inclusive hotel at Titreyengöl, open since 2015, with water slides over its pools, a mini club and its own sandy beach a short walk or free summer shuttle away.

The ride from Port River Hotel & Spa

A park day from Titreyengöl starts at the hotel entrance, where the boot is open and the swim bags go in before anybody has to walk anywhere. The car comes out of the pines, joins the coast road westbound and runs past the Serik turnings towards Kadriye, where the theme park gates stand back from the road behind the Kingdom of Dreams frontage. It is 40 km and 35 to 45 minutes of steady driving, which means the children are still fresh when the turnstiles come into view, and the same road brings you back at the end of the day.

The reason to fix the price before the car arrives is that nothing about it can change afterwards. We quote on WhatsApp and stand by it: from €45 for a Mercedes Vito and from €55 for the larger minivan, charged for the vehicle rather than for each seat, and identical on the return. Payment is cash to the driver in euros, dollars or lira when you get back to Titreyengöl, with no evening supplement whatever time you finish, because the service runs 24/7 and does not price the dark differently.

Port River is an all-inclusive hotel with slides over its own pools, a children's pool of its own, a mini club and a sandy beach reached by a short walk or the free summer shuttle, so a family setting out for Kadriye is usually carrying more than a handbag. The Mercedes Vito takes a pushchair, a cool bag and the damp towels that come home from a water park, and the sliding door is easier on tired legs than a boot lid and a low seat. Seats for children are fitted at our end before the car turns into Titreyengöl, and they add nothing to the fare; put the ages in the WhatsApp thread and nothing needs arranging at the door.

Where the car waits at Port River Hotel & Spa

The car turns off the Titreyengöl resort road and pulls up at the main entrance, rather than circling the beach road or waiting out on the highway. Tell us the surname the room stands under, then message on WhatsApp as you finish breakfast, and the boot is open by the time you cross the lobby. Loading at the door is what matters when the party includes a pushchair and a cool bag, because nothing has to be carried out to the gate.

A day at the park for Titreyengöl guests

Inside the gates the coasters and the rides take the morning, and the water zones take the afternoon in the warm months. Both sit behind the turnstiles and need a park ticket, which you buy from the park rather than from the driver, so check what is open on the day before you commit. Entry to Shopping Avenue is generally open, which makes it the obvious retreat if the weather turns or the children run out of energy. All-inclusive board stops at the hotel gate, so carry a card or cash for anything eaten inside the park.

Shopping Avenue after dark, then the drive to Titreyengöl

The after-dark programme runs along the free-to-enter Shopping Avenue, which means an evening visit is possible without a full park ticket. Because show days and times shift across the season, take them from the park's official schedule before the car is booked; the driver works to whichever evening you name. Nothing is added to the fare for the gap between your message and the pickup, and a WhatsApp message as the finale ends brings the car to the gate about 15 minutes later, in time for the 35 to 45 minute drive back through the pines to Titreyengöl.

Night-show tip: Shopping Avenue is generally free to enter, which is what makes an evening at the park possible without buying a ride ticket. Which nights the programme runs, and when, shifts across the season, so take the timing from the park's own schedule rather than from talk at the pool bar. Name the evening when you book and the driver builds his day around it; a message on WhatsApp at the end of the finale brings him to the gate about 15 minutes later, by which time the crowd has thinned.

Pickup: Pickup at Port River Hotel & Spa is from the main entrance, where the driver holds a name board; the beach and the bars are not collection points. Book the car under the surname the room is held in, stay in the lobby out of the sun, and come out when the WhatsApp message arrives.

A typical Land of Legends day from Port River Hotel & Spa

  1. Breakfast at Port River, then a message on WhatsApp to fix the time
  2. Swim bags into the boot of the Vito at the front of the hotel
  3. Out of the pines and west along the coast road: 40 km, 35–45 min to Kadriye
  4. Through the turnstiles for the coasters and the rides, all of which need a ticket
  5. Lunch, then the water zones inside the park through the warm afternoon
  6. A walk down the free-to-enter Shopping Avenue, then WhatsApp the driver for the run home

Practical tips

  • Take show days and times from the park's official schedule before the car is fixed, because the programme shifts across the season.
  • Ask for an early car if you want the coasters before the queues build, and say so on WhatsApp the night before.
  • Park tickets cover the rides and the water zones and are bought from the park; the Shopping Avenue is generally free to enter.
  • Pay the driver in cash in euros, dollars or lira on the way home, so there is no need to look for a cash machine at the gate.
  • Send the children's ages with the booking, and the infant seats, child seats or boosters go in at our end at no cost.

Frequently asked questions

How much is a taxi from Port River Hotel & Spa to The Land of Legends?

The fare is fixed for the vehicle, not for each seat: from €45 for a Mercedes Vito and from €55 for the larger minivan. Coming back to Titreyengöl costs that same figure. Cash settles it, in euros, dollars or lira, handed over at the end, with nothing added for a late finish and no meter ticking in the traffic.

How long is the drive from Titreyengöl to The Land of Legends?

It is 40 km and 35 to 45 minutes. The car leaves the pines at Titreyengöl, joins the coast road westbound and runs past the Serik turnings to Kadriye. Summer traffic around Manavgat and Serik can stretch the upper end of that range, which is why the fare is agreed before you set off and not after.

Do we need tickets for The Land of Legends?

Yes for the park itself. Tickets for the rides and the water zones come from the park and not from the transfer, and they are checked at the turnstiles. Entry to Shopping Avenue is generally open, so dinner and a walk there work without buying into the park proper. Check what a ticket covers through the park's own channels.

Can you fit child seats for the run to Kadriye?

Yes, free of charge. Seats for infants, toddlers and older children go in at our end before the car reaches the entrance, so send the ages with the booking. There is still room in a Mercedes Vito for a pushchair, a cool bag and the wet swim things collected in the park's water zones.

Does the driver wait while we are in the park?

You choose. The car can be sent away and called back on WhatsApp when you are ready, since the fare covers the journey rather than the hours. Waiting can also be arranged if you prefer the same driver to stay. Either way the service runs 24/7, so a late finish does not change the figure you agreed.
